GENERAL INFORMATION
Objectives of the College
Believing in the dignity and worth of every person and in equal op-
portunity for the development of individual capacity, Carver College de-
sires to serve the individual and the community by offering to young
people and adults educational experiences for enriched living, cultural
development, and responsible citizenship. Its major aim is to provide for
young people a well-balanced general education program which will pre-
pare them in specific requirements for junior standing in a senior college
or university, for entrance to a professional school, and for the completion
of the Associate in Arts degree. The adult program is designed for con-
tinued development in the fields of vocational, cultural, and general
education.
More specifically the basic objectives are:
1. To develop competency for further academic or pre-professional
study as a prerequisite to major fields in a four-year college or uni-
versity. Thus the student who wishes to complete a four-year
college course or prepare for a profession requiring more than two
years may complete the first two years at Carver College.
2. Preparation in vocational education. The college offers one and
two-year programs to meet the vocational needs of young people
who wish to terminate training at the end of one or two years.
These programs are in the fields of Ceneral Business, Business
Administration, and Secretarial Science.
3. Preparation in the field of adult education. The college seeks to
make available to adults educational and training opportunities
for the purpose of increasing their occupational competency and
personal growth. These offerings are in organized vocational, cul-
tural, and general education courses.
Location
Carver College is located in the city of Charlotte in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina. With an estimated population of 166,000, Char-
lotte is the largest city in the two Carolinas and serves as the center of
commerce, industry, and culture for an area of twenty-four counties.
Classes are held in the Second Ward High School Building at 501
South Alexander Street, less than a mile from the center of the city. The
Carver College Office is located on the main floor of the building, and
is open from 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.
Library Facilities
The Carver College Library is situated on the main floor of the new
building. The library contains approximately 4,000 volumes and has
at its disposal more than 70 periodicals. After two o’clock college students
have access to this library and are encouraged to use the books of college
15
level. The facilities of the Second Ward High School Library and the
Charlotte Public Library are also available to students. The college is at
present working toward a minimum goal of 6,000 volumes for its library
by the end of this school term.
A trained Librarian with assistants has charge of the library.
Counseling and Guidance
The instructional program of Carver College contributes to the guid-
ance process by furnishing try-out experiences under the direction of
interested faculty members, wherever this is possible. Students are en-
couraged to consult with their instructors regarding problems which they
encounter. During the pre-registration and registration periods, the faculty
serves in an advisory capacity for the planning of programs of study and
the scheduling of classes. Two part-time counselors add to the efficiency
of this program.
Each student, upon entering the college, is assigned to one of the
teachers who acts as advisor. Frequent conferences are held during each
quarter. This close contact between faculty and students lends to a
carefully guided Junior College career.
Accreditation
Carver College is a member of the North Carolina College Confer-
ence, is affiliated with the American Association of Junior Colleges, and
is accredited by the North Carolina State Department of Education.
The college is working closely with officials of the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools for accreditation in the near future
Credits earned at Carver College in curricula leading to degrees are
transferable to senior colleges and universities.
Veterans' Education
Carver College trains veterans under the G. I. Bill of Rights. Veterans
seeking training under the provisions of Public Law 16 or 894 (Federal
Educational Rehabilitation Program), Public Law 346 (Servicemen’s Re-
adjustment Act), or Public Law 550 (Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance
Act of 1952) must enroll for a minimum of twelve quarter hours in order
to receive full subsistence. Routines involving letters of eligibility, inter-
ruption of training, and the like are handled by the College Office. Tech-
nical questions relating to the Veterans Administration are referred to Mr.
Vernon O. Tucker, Veterans’ Service Officer who is located at 123 North

Carver College should do the following:
1. File at the college office the following:
(a) Application for admission completely filled out.
16
(b) Transcripts of all previous high school and/or college courses
completed before or after induction or as a part of Army or
Navy basic training or specialized training programs; also,
records of courses taken by correspondence through the United
States Armed Forces Institute. The latter records may be se-
cured from United States Armed Forces Institute, Madison,
Wisconsin. All transcripts and records should be sent directly
from the school, college, or other agencies to Carver College.
2. Report to the College Office to receive definite instructions for
making application for a Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement,

supplies, and other incidentals fees are the personal responsibility of the
veteran. A veteran will get his monthly allowance some time after the
end of each month of training completed. Before the Veterans Adminis-
tration can pay him, the law requires a certificate from both the veteran
and his school or training establishment in which he was enrolled and pur-
suing his course during that period.
A veteran attending Carver College is required to maintain satisfactory
academic achievement, attendance, and conduct.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
Application for Admission
Application for admission is made by submitting C 1 ) a completed official
application form, (2) official transcript of high school record showing
16 acceptable units, (3) statement of recommendation from high school
principal, (4) statement of recommendation for transfer students from last
college attended.
For admission as an advanced student, application is made by sub-
mitting (1) a completed official application form, (2) official transcript
of all former college work. An applicant who has attended other insti-
tutions of collegiate grade must not disregard his collegiate record in
making an application to this institution.
Transcripts delivered in person by the applicant are unofficial. Only
transcripts received directly from other institutions are considered official.
In short or refresher courses, students may register without transcripts
or entrance classification examinations.
Placement Examinations
The English and Mathematics placement examinations and the college
aptitude tests must be taken by all entering students. The results from
this testing program will enable the student and the college to plan a
program which the entrant can carry successfully.
Registration
Registration for credit in any course is limited to the first five days
of the quarter.
Under the quarter system, three courses (not less than 12 quarter
hours) constitute a full college load; however, a student may register for
less work. For students who maintain “B” averages, special permission may
be obtained from the Director to take an additional course.
Veterans must register for either a full load (12 to 15 quarter hours)
or a half load (not less than 10 quarter hours) to receive subsistence.
Change of Name or Address
Students are urged to notify the Registrar’s office promptly in writing
when they change their names or addresses.
Change of Program
During the first week of a quarter a student may change his program
with permission from the Director and the Registrar. Dropping a course
without proper permission will result in a grade of “F.”
Examinations
Final examinations on the entire quarter’s work are given at the close
of each quarter in each class. Students are required to take the scheduled
final examinations at the appointed time and place in order to secure credit.
18
Probation
Students are placed on probation because of unsatisfactory grades, ex-
cessive absences or poor citizenship.
Failure to pass at least tAvo-thirds of the units carried during any quarter
places a student on scholastic probation under the following conditions:
1. It is necessary for a student to see a counselor before school opens
to have a program of studies approved.
2. No unexcused absences in excess of 3 may be incurred in any class.
3. A passing grade average must be maintained in all units attempted.
4. Special permission must be obtained from the counselor for par-
ticipation in any extra-curricular activity. This includes athletic com-
petition, social organizations, service or interest clubs, publications
and student government.
These conditions may also be applied to those probationary cases with
excessive absences or poor citizenship.
To remove probation, it is necessary to do satisfactory work in the total
program attempted during the quarter for which the student is currently
registered.
If the above requirements are not fulfilled, the student is dropped.
Scholarships and Grades
Students are notified of deficiencies in scholarship upon completion
of mid-term examinations.
Final quarter grades are available to students within four weeks of the
end of the quarter.
The system of grades and grade points at Carrier College is as follows:
A— indicates work of superior character.
B— indicates work of a better than ar^erage grade.
C— indicates average work.
D— indicates less than average, but passing.
F— indicates failing; student must repeat course if credit is
desired
I— some phase of work incomplete at time grades were re-
ported. Incompletes must be made up not later than the
succeding quarter after work was originally due; other-
wise, the “I” automatically becomes “F.”
\VP— permission granted to withdraw, but passing at time of
withdrawal.
WF— permission granted to udthdraw, but failing at time of
wathdrawal.
A Student who withdraws from a course without permission automatically
receives an "F” in that course.
A quarter credit is the same as a quarter hour. For each hour of credit,
letters carry the following values:
A— 3 quality points F— 0 quality point
B— 2 quality points I— 0 quality point
C— 1 quality point WP— 0 quality point
D— 0 quality point WF— 0 quality point
19
Work is considered satisfactorily when a student maintains an average
of “C” or higher; that is, the number of quality points earned equals or
surpasses the number of quarter hour credits pursued.
Attendance Requirements
Regular class attendance is required in all classes for which the stu-
dent is registered. Each student may be allowed three cuts from each
class during the quarter, but after the third absence he may be suspended
by the Director. Absences due to illness must be accounted for in the Di-
rector’s Office. Students who are absent for acceptable reasons may have
absences excused through the Director’s Office.
A student who has been absent from classes on account of prolonged
or repeated illness or other emergencies and a student on scholastic pro-
bation forfeits the cuts which he might otherwise have been allowed.
Transfer of College Credits
Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university upon
completion of their junior college work should inform their advisers
when they enroll so that the loss of credit may be avoided.
Medical Care
Minor medical care is provided. This includes only minor remedies
and materials that can care for first aid and minor illnesses. Should serious
illnesses occur during the school day, students are referred to the school
physician or taken to Good Samaritan Hospital. The fees incurred in such
cases must be met by the individual student.
All students are encouraged to participate in the accident insurance
program of the school.

Graduation requirements at Car\'er College vary according to the oc-
cupational field the student has selected. Upon the satisfactory completion
of any of the prescribed courses listed in the following pages, a student is
awarded a diploma or the degree of “Associate in Arts.”
Each candidate for the Associate in Arts degree is required to file an

at the time the student registers for the third quarter.
Each candidate for the Associate in Arts degree must present at least
90 quarter hours and 90 grade points. He must have made a general
average of “C” or more in all of his work. He must have fulfilled to the
satisfaction of the faculty all the requirements of the curricula of the
junior college division. He must have been a student in the College during
his sophomore year and hav^e completed in residence at least 45 of the 90
hours required for the degree.
Whereas a minimum number of quarter hours and grade points is
set and determine the worthiness of each individual candidate for a degree,
based on an objective requirement for a degree, the College reserves the
right to require character and personal integrity as well as academic
proficiency.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The development of the whole individual is the aim of the insti-
tution. Outside of the classroom, certain activities, designated as extra-
curricular, are provided. The extracurricular program of the college con-
tributes greatly to the cultural and intellectual development of the stu-
dents. Many enriching experiences are provided through the close cooper-
ation which is maintained between the administration and other civic and
educational institutions of the city and nearby areas.
Student Government
It is the policy of Carver College to encourage and develop student
self-government. Student government was organized the first quarter of
1949 at Carver and is continuing to function. The Student Council’s
functions are to serve the membership of the school in every possible way,
forming certain committees vital to the student government program, pro-
moting educational projects, and formulating, with the administration’s ap-
proval, certain school policies.
Dramatics
The Carver Stage Grafters attempt to stimulate interest in all phases
of dramatic expression. Plans for expansion of the drama program of the
college are being formulated to include group discussions of pantomime,
acting, make-up, playwriting, radio technique, and verse choirs. Emphasis
is placed on the special training of individual students and the exchange
of ideas in the field of dramatic art. The nucleus of the Stage Grafters
is the class in speech.
23
Newspaper
To provide information for all persons interested in Carver College,
The Carver Chronicle, official voice of the students, is published once
each quarter.
The duties and purposes of the newspaper are : to create a wholesome
school spirit; to support the best traditions of the institution; to encourage
worthy school activities; to record the history of the school; to offer training
in journalistic projects; and, above all, to afford a free and usage forum for
expression and opinions in the tradition of our democracy.
College Yearbook — The Carveran
The first Yearbook was published at the end of Carver’s initial year in
1950 and henceforth is an annual publication. The purpose of the Carver
Yearbook is to present a vivid account of the activities of the institution
during the school year.
Athletics
Carver College’s athletic program is limited to basketball and field
events. Opportunity for other athletic activities will be added as interest,
time, and enrollment indicate the need.
Recreation
Social activities, including dances, receptions, banquets, and coffee
hours, are provided as leisure interests during the school year.
Honor Society
In September of 1951, the Honor Society was organized. To become
a member of the Carver College Honor Society, a student must have made
an average of “B” or above in at least forty-five quarter hours’ work at
Carver College.
To be eligible for active membership in the Honor Society, a student
shall be registered and in good standing at Carver College. He shall be of
sophomore classification and shall have earned a minimum of 45 quarter
hours of credit toward an Associate in Arts degree at Carver College. His
scholarship standing in terms of the grade or honor point average shall
be not less than 2.3, expressed under the system A equals 3; B equals 2; C
equals 1; D equals 0. This average shall be computed by dividing the
number of grade or honor points by the number of credit hours.
Music
The Carver College Music Department (choral work) is open to all
students after being qualified through vocal tests and may be used as an
elective with credit. No credit will be allowed, however, for less than one
quarter’s work. All interested students are required to pursue two years’
work in the department before being considered for awards or scholarships.
All material to be covered will be planned by the music faculty after
thorough consideration of the college talents, students’ needs, and pubhc
24
perfoiTnances. Choral training in the classes will be supplemented by ex-
periences in performance at school programs and community affairs. Stu-
dents should show evidence of doing college level work at all times. Stu-
dents may exemplify this talent and interest through membership in the
college chorus, male chorus, women’s chorus, mixed quartet, mixed octet,
and male quartet.
Attendance
Students enrolled in music for the quarter are expected to be present
and prompt unless officially excused. All music students are required to at-
tend all musical events during the quarter.
Outside Performance
These appearances will be screened by the Director of the College
and music faculty, thus eradicating numerous commitments on students.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Scholarship Committee, consisting of interested local citizens,
works to provide funds for worthy students for each current year. The
faculty works jointly with this committee by sponsoring a benefit concert
annually, the proceeds of which are added to our scholarship fund. Only
students who are enrolled in the college and have secured at least 15
quarter hours are eligible for these funds.
Through the years the College has received applications from stu-
dents who have shown a definite need for financial assistance in meeting
their college expenses. For such needy students who also possess the ability
to carry on their study satisfactorily, certain scholarships are available.
NATIONAL DEFENSE STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM
Carver College qualified for the National Defense Student Loan
which was set up in 1958-1959 by the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare in Washington, D. C. Its purpose is to stimulate and assist
in the establishment at institutions of higher education of funds for the
making of low-interest loans to students in need thereof to pursue their
courses of study in such institutions. $5,903.22 is available for students at
Carver College during this school term. Students with high scholarship
and who are in need of funds should make application to the special com-
mittee of the faculty in charge of this program.
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
The programs of study contained in the following pages are classified
as “University Parallel’’ or “Terminal.” Those in the former category are
intended for students who plan to transfer to a university or a senior col-
lege after completion of lower division work at Carver College. Those in
the second category are intended for students who do not plan to transfer
to a university or a senior college after completion of lower division work
at Carver College, but wish to gain the best possible training in specific
fields during two years of college, and plan to enter their chosen vocation
upon graduation from Carver College.
25
University Parallel Curricula
Any of the academic courses offered by this college, if properly se-
lected, should be accepted for transfer to a senior institution and should
count, without loss of credit hours, toward a bachelor’s degree. How'ever, a
student who expects to continue his college career or to enter a profes-
sional school after leaving junior college should consult the catalog of the
institution he expects to attend and select his courses accordingly. Although
the Director will gladly assist the student in choosing the courses that will
assure junior standing in the senior institution, the final responsibility for
selecting the proper courses must rest wath the student.
Terminal Curricula
It is possible for a student in the tenninal programs to do part-time
work in his chosen field under the supervision of a trained co-ordinator
and, at the same time, to gain credit towards graduation for this work-type
educational experience.
